So what? It's no skin off my nose. Go ahead and fire me. I'm ready to retire anyway. :-) > There may just be a _reason_ why the standard PPP setup uses the > 'chatscr' and not a precompiled one as EZNET does? Hmmm ...??? You may have a point there. This evening I tried the BL200 ramdrive version again to check out eznet (for you!). All the Freenet lines were busy, so I had to use my commercial ISP account (where I pay by the minute). Lo and behold, ezynet didn't seem to work. I futzed around with it for a while without success, and then switched to chat with my own config files, which worked right away. I also got logs using syslogd from busybox [1]. If you continue to have problems with eznet, and want to try chat, I can put chat.gz (8k) and ppp-isp.tgz (620 bytes) in <http://www.ncf.ca/ncf/pda/computer/dos/baslinux/>. There's no "pppsetup" or scripts for this, so all you have to do is edit the config files (with pico) in an appropriate place and run pppd from the command line. I won't bother saying any more until I know someone is actually going to use this. [1] On my HD version I installed the Slack 7.1 sysklogd.tgz package, but I guess I didn't really have to. Howard E.
